I wouldn't worry about Farmar. I would gather that most of the rookies were active getting ready or the draft and in workouts, especially the ones without guaranteed spots. Farmar probably took some time to refresh his body and then work on specific aspects, whether it be strength, quickness, etc. If he stinks in game 2 I would be worried. Wow a good first game for the rook. Might prove to be a good pick.

As for Farmar vs. Crittenton. Farmar had a bad game, but if you watched it was most of the time his teammates fault. I remember him running a pick and roll, and the screener rolled late, and Farmar saw that the guy had a clear roll to the basket, so he anticipated the pass, and the roller didn't, TO.

There was another one when he drove baseline and dropped it off and his teammate wasn't expecting it type of deal. I"m not to worried, I still really like him.

Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will.

I wouldn't even be worried about Farmar if he had a sub-par game 2. I remember Deron Williams saying that the Jazz SPL squad was running around like chickens with their heads cut off, and he admitted he struggled. But he had a good preseason last year that carried over to the regular season. I'd be more interested in seeing Farmar's and Crittenton's performances in the preseason running with the final roster against legit NBA players. Farmar is smart, hard working with skills. He's not going to regress.
